Dataset for "Emerging threats to Antarctic conservation"

<p dir="ltr">This dataset contains anonymised responses collected as part of a global horizon scan aimed at identifying emerging conservation challenges in the Antarctic region. The horizon scan involved a modified Delphi process with 131 expert participants from 42 countries. Participants submitted up to fifteen emerging challenges each, which were iteratively refined over multiple survey rounds to develop a final list of ten priority threats. The dataset includes cleaned responses along with categorisation used for thematic analysis. These data underpin the findings reported in a peer-reviewed article in <i>Nature Ecology & Evolution</i>.</p>
